Friends! I will be teaching a new round of bookmaking workshops at the Kai Lin Art Gallery in Midtown. The first one is set for Saturday, June 26th, from 10-5pm. Going to be fun! Contact Shellie DuBois to reserve your spot: 404.408.4248.
Coptic Bound Bookmaking Workshop
Spend a Saturday making your very own Coptic Bound Journal. We will make covers and pages
for your books and learn how to stitch them together using this ancient Egyptian technique.
If you’d like to shop for materials in the supply list before the workshop, Binders Art Supply in Buckhead has all the supplies you’ll need.
Anything you need help choosing or don’t have time to get berforehand can be purchased down the street from the Kai Lin Gallery at Utrecht art supply during the first hour of the workshop.
We will then return to glue, fold, pierce and stitch our books together. We’ll take a break to eat lunch and by the end of class, you’ll be very proud of your first beautiful, strong, yet flexible book.
Our workshops are fast and fun. You won’t want it to end! Come join us!

8. Self-healing cutting mat $9.39
At least 12 x 18.
9. Stiff & springy glue brush $1.09
This price refelcts an inexpensive version of a chid’s
craft brush. Lineco makes a larger glue brushes if
you’d like to upgrade.
10. Non-slip metal ruler $3.89
This price reflects a cork-backed ruler. I find the foam
backed rulers sturdier, if you’d like to upgrade.
11. 8oz container of Acrylic Gel Medium $9.39
Coatings like gloss or matt do not matter because
we’ll brush this on and use as an adhesive to cover our
chipboard with paper.
12. Blank letter sheets of paper (20-25) $5.00
I like to use paper that feels good in my hands.
Sometimes I alternate blank pages with lined and
graphed paper. If you can’t find a ream of separate
sheets you like, then buy a pad of paper you like
and either cut or tear them out.
ESTIMATED TOTAL $73.95

1. Scissors
2. Roll of Wax Paper
3. A phonebook to help pierce holes in paper.
